Never understood why people still buy Ruger Mini 14’s as they are insanely priced and pretty inaccurate. Many videos out there calling it the gun that will not die.
The newer ones have better accuracy & they don’t have all those “assault weapon” features that would make them illegal in some places.
“and pretty inaccurate.”
The new ones with the heaver barrel are actually pretty accurate. The problem used to be the barrel was too light. They are still not sniper rifles but you can generally hit what you shoot at with one.
I have a new one. I do not want a used, 25 year old one unless the barrel has been changed.
One of the big reasons people buy them is that work with any ammunition, never jamb, and never wear out. They are rated for either .223 or 5.56 letting use either. They are comfortable to shoot.
Also, and do not discount this, they look a little bit like great granddad’s hunting rifle, not a “Scary assault rifle” so anti gun neighbors don’t run away screaming and call the police if you take it out of your vehicle after coming home from the shooting range.
Mini 14’s are very accurate. Depends on the shooter.
And it will take a lot abuse and still fire.
And their receivers suck too. Cracks and breaks resulting from porous metal.
Kinda butthurt my CZ P07 ain’t listed. Best concealed carry I’ve ever had. I’m a fan of decockers, trigger is nice, did some work on it and now it’s really good, cut my slide for a holosun dot, which impacted muzzle flip a little bit, so I added a spirally threaded barrel (I just thought it looked cool) and a compensator. P07s are just criminally underrated.
